Advice to Management

After some senior leaders joined from Databricks, the work environment became very toxic. Employees are being indirectly threatened that AI will replace their jobs, while also being expected to work double with unrealistic deadlines and workloads. At the same time, they are bringing in many of their former teammates from Databricks and behaving as if they own the organization, which has negatively impacted the overall culture and morale.
